Honestly, having a built-in GPS without offline music playback defeats the purpose for some people, and for me specifically. I prefer going on a run having earbuds in my ears with some music. None of the new Fitbit devices provide such functionality after the 3rd party apps were cut. Really disappointing that google decided to cut features from Fitbit just to promote Google Watch basically.

How accurate are the new h/r sensors when it comes to tracking calories burned? That's my main concern and what I mainly try to track. I originally had a Charge 5 when I started taking better care of my health, but moved to a Versa 4 due to the larger screen. However, that seemed to be wildly inconsistent and inaccurate when it came to tracking calories burned, so I decided to try my current Amazefit GTR 4. I find I'm running into the same problems though, and similar workouts can produce wildly differing results for calories burned. Plus, since I work on the heavy bag a lot (probably my favorite form of exercise), I find that having the protruding button on the side can be a hinderance as it often gets pushed in by my gloves and ends the workout tracking prematurely. Even though I'd be going back to a smaller screen, if the Charge 6 is more consistent and accurate when it comes to recording calories burned I'd probably move over to it.
@lumbruhjack8888

The calories burned is still wildly inaccurate. I'm not sure what algorithms they use to calculate it because the steps seem very accurate. I would say the main error is how it calculates calories burned when you select an exercise to track. It said I burned over 800 calories during my weight lifting sessions which is wild. I would imagine if I paused the tracking between sets it would be a better depiction.

all Fitbits tend to overcount by a bit, depending on arm movement. For example, one time I was shoveling a hole, and despite not "walking" I accumulated thousands of steps (even though it was a lot of exercise). There's benefits and negatives to this approach of course, so it's not necessarily bad. But I can see specific occupations where the step count could be off

I think it has issues when in dynamic mode, trying to use the phones or the watches and figuring out which to use. This connects to my iPhone 15 beautifully. I just want a fitness tracker. No fancy features. The only thing I wish they would improve is the time needed to use the EDA scanner. Also, notifications don’t always reach my watch but I’m using it for fitness mainly, so it’s not a deal breaker for me
